Adult autism assessment: what questions might be asked about my early years?

[Dandill]

I'm planning to go for an autism assessment (I'm 53). I'm guessing there will be questions about my babyhood and early childhood - can anyone tell me what sort of thing they might ask?

My DM is still around, although she's a bit of an unreliable source of info these days. But if I know what to expect, then I could try to find out relevant stuff from her in advance (and get info from old school reports etc). I'm particularly concerned about stuff I would have been too young to remember myself.

My DC have ASD, but their assessments were so long ago that I've forgotten exactly what was asked about their early years!

Thanks in advance if you have any pointers.

My assessment covered my mother’s pregnancy and my birth (I was diagnosed after DP’s deaths and didn’t know much about either, neither did my brother), developmental milestones (luckily I knew about these because I had DM’s written records), educational history, what I was like at home, our family’s social history during my childhood (e.g. did DP’s work). They read my school reports so if you have them that could be helpful.
